Rent a orbital sander from a neighbor near you
Refinishing one table or prepping one set of cabinets for paint is a weekend with a sander and then nothing for years. Borrow one with the dust bag and buy a pack of your own discs.
What it costs to rent a orbital sander
Rental counters typically charge about $15 to $35 a day for a orbital sander, plus a damage waiver and tax. On Rentsome, neighbors set their own daily rate, and it is usually lower because they are not running a store. Every booking adds a 15% service fee (minimum $2) and sales tax, both shown before you confirm. A refundable security deposit is held on your card, never charged, and released 72 hours after you return it.
A new orbital sander runs roughly $60 to $200. At about $25 a day, renting stays cheaper until you have used it around 5 days in total, before counting storage, maintenance and the resale value you never get back.

Renting a orbital sander: common questions
Orbital or belt sander?
Random-orbit for almost everything: furniture, trim, cabinets. A belt sander is for fast material removal on rough lumber.
How does the security deposit work?
It is a hold on your card sized to the item’s declared value, never a charge. It releases automatically 72 hours after you return the item, unless the owner files a damage claim within that window.
